I liked the third highlander with Mario Van Peebles. He told lambert his immortal pecker couldn't do the pecking.

When forces of the German 6th Army launched their attack against the city centre of Stalingrad on 13 September 1942, Mamayev Kurgan (appearing in military maps as "Height 102.0") saw particularly fierce fighting between the German attackers and the defending soldiers of the Soviet 62nd Army. Control of the hill became vitally important, as it offered control over the city. To defend it, the Soviets had built strong defensive lines on the slopes of the hill, including trenches, barbed-wire and minefields. The Germans pushed forward against the hill, taking heavy casualties. When they finally captured the hill, they started firing on the city centre, as well as on the railway station Stalingrad-1 under the hill. They captured the railway station on 14 September.
On the same day, the Soviet 13th Guards Rifle Division commanded by Alexander Rodimtsev arrived in the city from across the river Volga under heavy German artillery fire. The division's 10,000 men immediately rushed into the bloody battle. On 16 September they recaptured Mamayev Kurgan and kept fighting for the railway station, taking heavy losses. By the following day, almost all of them had died. The Soviets kept re-inforcing their units in the city as fast as they could. The Germans assaulted up to twelve times a day, and the Soviets would respond with fierce counter-attacks.
The hill changed hands several times. By 27 September 1942, the Germans had again captured half of Mamayev Kurgan. The Soviets held their own positions on the slopes of the hill, as the 284th Rifle Division desperately defended the key stronghold. The defenders held out until 26 January 1943, when the Soviet winter offensive relieved them, trapping and destroying the German forces inside Stalingrad.
When the battle ended, the blood-soaked soil on the hill was plowed and mixed with metal fragments the soil contained between 500 and 1,250 splinters of metal per square meter. The earth on the hill had remained black in the winter, as the snow kept melting in the many fires and explosions. In the following spring the hill would still remain black, as no grass grew on its scorched soil. The hill's formerly steep slopes had become flattened in months of intense shelling and bombardment. Even today it is possible to find fragments of bone and metallic fragments still buried deep throughout the hill.

During the U.S. Prohibition era, it was common for rum-runner captains to add water to bottles to stretch their profits, or to re-label it as better goods. One American rum-runner captain and boat builder, William S. McCoy, became famous for never watering his booze, and selling only real top-quality products. Because of this, some accounts place McCoy as the source of the term "the Real McCoy."
i think ~D has mentioned the directors cut.Scotsman said:Does it make me the biggestin this thread considering I own the Director's cut of the original, the entire tv series on tape, and for christmas I got figures of Kurgan and MacCleod in their ancient armor?

I am joining the Highlander band wagon - the first movie and the one with Van Peeples kicked ass. And so did the series. I can remember - coming home from work throwing the TV to the USA network and vegging out for 2 hours. First Highlander the series - then a little Renogade. You just don't mess with Lorenzo Lamas!

It featured the dude from the program. Andrew Brynarinski or something like that. He was also the most recent leatherface in the latest TCM movie.javaguru said:

Yep lattimer. That encouraged me at the young age of 12. Being all huge and gorilla pressing 315. Then putting his head through car windows. Didn't they take a scene out where they were layingin the middle of the road. I think some kids actually tried to do that.javaguru said:
